Enabling counselling for all

Mental Health care has always been at the heart of what we do at HealthLInk360.  Our counsellors and psychologists have supported people all over the world and helped them through difficult times.  We realise that often this help is needed when the funds to pay for them are not available. In 2021-’22 we provided 14 bursary funded sessions and in 2022-’23 it was up to 19. We would love to offer this opportunity to more people.

The idea of the Bursary Fund isn’t to cover the full cost of the service; it has long been understood that making a contribution towards talking therapy is an important way to motivate and engage individuals to get the best from their time with a counsellor or psychologist.  This fund enables us to offer a significant reduction in the cost. Please donate to support us in the valuable work.

Caroline Hunter

Many of our clients will remember Caroline. Caroline worked for our Psychological Services Team at HealthLink360 for many years and was widely respected and liked by her clients and colleagues alike.  She was dedicated to making mental health support available to everyone who needed it and went above and beyond to make everyone feel important and cared for.  So, when we decided to set up a Bursary fund, it seemed obvious to name it after Caroline. 

 
 

Other ways you can support us…

Please donate to keep our doors open.

HealthLink360 provides high quality healthcare for people who volunteer to help and care for others around the world.

Funding from trusts, private donors and proceeds from the travel clinic help to support us. Although we charge for our services, it remains an ongoing challenge to maintain our medical team and facilities, and all donations are welcome.

Your support has real impact.

  • Your £20 donation opens our doors for ten minutes to provide a vaccination for a humanitarian worker preparing to return to the field.

  • Your £60 donation pays for our clinic to be open for thirty minutes to vaccinate a family of four preparing to travel overseas as volunteers or for a follow up phone call to check in on a young person’s mental health.

  • Your £120 donation pays for an hour of our running costs to provide a debrief session for a worker coming home, after years of volunteering in a situation of extreme poverty.

If you are a UK Taxpayer you can boost your donation by 25p of Gift Aid for every £1 you donate, please download our Gift Aid Declaration Form by clicking the button below.
